Avoid last minute blunders.

The bride and her bridesmaids are always giddy about what they're wearing. They make trip after trip to try on their dresses and make sure alterations have been done properly, and that colors match. Women pay close attention to every detail, so that the big day will go on hopefully without any mishaps.

Wouldn't it be awful if some details weren't paid attention to so closely? The Knot has a few comical blunders to read on their webpage. Make sure you don't end up like the folks in one of those stories. Put someone in charge to go over special last minute details, like checking the groomsmen's tuxedos to make sure pieces aren't missing, or that the best man doesn't have two left shoes  Make checklists for everyone in your wedding party to make sure they have the essentials.

Here's an idea: put the maid of honor in charge of getting a day-of survival kit in order. The survival kit can include things like toothpaste, toothbrushes, mouthwash, gum, deodorant, lip gloss/chap stick, make-up remover, Tylenol, a mini first-aid kit, and a few protein filled snacks (because believe it or not, people may get busy enough that they'll forget to eat!). Customize the survival kit to weather and location. Include sunscreen if the venue is outdoors for those who are fair-skinned, and  allergy medication if you're having a wedding in the Spring (that pollen can make someone's day bad in a matter of seconds). Someone will appreciate the though put into the idea, and the goodies in the kit will come in handy for sure.
